<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">John Parker joined our happy family on July 1, 2012. He weighed 8 lbs 1 oz and was 21 inches long. Everything about his birthday was absolutely wonderful and I could not have asked for an easier labor, delivery or baby. He was, and still is, perfect. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So he is now eleven weeks old and this is my first post. There aren't any throughout my pregnancy because in all honesty, I was miserable. I was just uncomfortable and down right mean. As soon as he was born I had a whole new attitude and I have been SOOO busy soaking up my time at home with both my babies that I haven't had a lot of time for much of anything else. Here are a few of the first memories. </span></div>

I was a nervous wreck. We thought she would be asleep for two hours but they actually finished up early which is perfectly fine with me. Neely’s dentist, Dr. Barbee, is absolutely one of my favorite people right now. He is so wonderful with Neely and he did a great job on her teeth (that is based on all of my extensive knowledge of teeth - they are are white and in her mouth so what more can you ask for?). And he called a couple of times over the weekend from his personal cell phone to check on her. I love that. The only thing I am disappointed in is that we will not be able to send out the Christmas cards of Neely with a caption reading “All I Want for Christmas if My Two Front Teeth”. I was totally looking forward to that. </span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br />

She is pretty much ruined now. A week of having Chewmomma and Dad-Dad in your face 24/7 catering to your every need apparently will do that. When Neely finally saw me she looked at me like I was dog meat and started crying for Chewmomma (who was doing her very best not to smile and bust out into a victory dance, but I am pretty sure she was giving herself high-fives in the next room). After four days of non-stop shopping and errand running, Chewmomma looked exhausted from packing the lil bit-bug all over the place on her hip. Who’s laughing now??? (I’m high-fiving myself). </span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br />

Chewmomma was in the choir and I am pretty sure Neely was trying to get to her when she decided to jump off the stage and landed on her back. She is actually fine but she screeched like a banshee all the way down the church aisle. I am sure this year’s video was able to capture her lungs at their finest. And now the family is calling her the Fallen Angel. We are so proud. </span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">While cousin Amelia was here this toy saw a lot of action. The pigs were constantly on the run from the Big Bad Wolf, who was huffing and puffing all over the place. Neely Jo hasn’t really paid much attention to this little set but our cat, Winks, seems to be curious. I woke up and found the poor thing with the second Little Pig’s house stuck on her head. She was crying bless, bless her heart. Now we eat an astronomical amount of pork products in this house so I figure Winks just wanted to see what all the fuss was about and was trying to get at that second piggy. So now when I tell the story to Neely Jo the Big Bad Wolf will be replaced by the Pork Hungry One Eyed Cat. </span></span><br />

Luckily the call came in at 4:45. Since she has to be fever free for 24 hours I got to keep her home with me today. Thankfully she didn’t run a fever all day and she seems to be feeling fine so it will be back to the grind tomorrow. I am very thankful that we had a good day. I would love to be a stay at home mom and I absolutely adored getting to spend the day with my baby girl. And I am sure she adored getting to spend the day with her birthday presents. She made sure to chew on each and every one of them.</span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br />

I was thinking Neely Jo would enjoy that seeing how it seems to make everyone feel better when they are sick. Nope. She ate carrots and blueberries. Spit the chicken out and smashed the dumplings into a creamy paste all over her high chair. Seriously. This meal was a process to make. I spent 3 hours cooking it and even went out and bought a dutch oven for the ordeal. The good news is that Derrick ate enough to make up for it. </span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br />

It has been a LONG day. And tomorrow is looking to be even longer. When I got home Neely Jo was already tired, cranky and needed to go straight to bed. I played with her for a few minutes until she looked like she was going to absolutely rub her eyes clean off of her face. Then Derrick cuddled her up and she was knocked plum out. It breaks my heart on the days I don't get to spend much time with her. BUT I do have a little "happy" from school today. Neely Jo was the "Student of the Week". Now seeing how I worked late and Derrick picked her up I have NO CLUE what exactly that means. Or how it is decided upon.

The child just cut her sixth tooth last week and so far it is looking good. The plus side is that LOVE our dentist and the staff is WONDERFUL. And even id Neely screams in their face sometimes, she is happy when they give her a rubber ducking (who has a toothbrush, toothpaste and big set of pearly whites). </span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJh4m6bJiBnwqLh-KsytRqRoCYeybRgFSmROlt8gxpgxTlvC8nELWiTnbRtRj21KBr0d-ZUGks_7vKcsq3kpZ27iPuW4m7_9QPnRBWxtcR_fj85hDXjPcqWyvM86UgTSaR5HE7RemqN2w/s1600/IMG_0935.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJh4m6bJiBnwqLh-KsytRqRoCYeybRgFSmROlt8gxpgxTlvC8nELWiTnbRtRj21KBr0d-ZUGks_7vKcsq3kpZ27iPuW4m7_9QPnRBWxtcR_fj85hDXjPcqWyvM86UgTSaR5HE7RemqN2w/s400/IMG_0935.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><br />

Or at least that is what Derrick says. She and another little boy have started hitting the other kids. And she also tells the other children “Eh! Eh!” when they get into the cabinets and if they don’t stop she swats their hands. At first I was really embarrassed but now I am considering asking daycare if they can add her onto the payroll as the disciplinarian because if she is going to do it she might as well get paid for it. And then maybe I wouldn’t feel so bad about it. </span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">She isn’t walking on her own yet, but she is cruising around and into EVERYTHING. This morning she came barreling out of the bathroom with a q-tip in each hand and one hanging out of her mouth. She is saying Ma-Ma and Da-Da, Hi and Bye, and Uh-Oh on her own and is trying to repeat new words everyday. She is sadly going through a bit of a phase (hopefully) where she likes to slap people across the face. We are spanking her for this and sometimes it turns into a slap-off match, but I always win in the end. Until I get slapped again. </span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br />

Where has the summer gone? Derrick is back in school as of this week so we feel as if summer is officially over. Of course the temperature outside says otherwise. So I am playing catch up once again… <br />

Fourth of July. We headed to Mississippi for the week with Chewmomma and Dad-Dad. We went to Corinth because Dad-Dad is working there for the summer. There is not a whole lot of happenings in Corinth, but there is a ton of good food and more local restaurants than you can shake a stick at – which we loved. There are several Civil War attractions in and around Corinth including the Shiloh battlefield (which we didn't technically visit but we did drive past it on our way to eat fried catfish so I feel like that counts).<br />
<br />

They were actually having the “Slugburger Festival” in Corinth while we were visiting. Now we had no clue what everyone was talking about, but apparently Corinth is the home of the slugburger. A slugburger thankfully has no slugs in it – we checked. It is a burger made with a little beef/pork and then some flour, cornmeal or soybean meal, depending on where you get it. And then it is deep fried. Crispy goodness! They used to sell them for a “slug” nickel and that’s how they got their name. History lesson while eating fried food. <br />

Sherriff Buford Pusser’s home who was the inspiration for the movie “Walking Tall”. I thought we were visiting the home of Buford T. Justice from “Smokey and the Bandit”. I was a little confused. <br />

June 5th we celebrated Aunt Katie’s birthday. We didn’t get to see her, but we made Neely a sweet potato cake in her honor and then video taped it. It was a straight mess. But Katie enjoyed the video…almost as much as Neely Jo enjoyed her cake. <br />

I had to go to California to work for a week. I cannot even describe how hard that was, but we survived. Derrick finished fencing in our backyard, did some laundry without ruining anything and managed to not freak out when Neely Jo had a low grade fever. He also managed to get addicted to milkshakes. Not sure how that happened, but we cannot continue to hit up the DQ for blizzards every night during the height of swimsuit season. I made it back just in time for Father’s Day (which was low-key seeing how I was EXHAUSTED…after all, Father’s Day is all about how I feel)…<br />

Neely Jo has been playing in water more and more. The girl LOVES it. Now she may not be able to crawl, but she can straight face plant in a puddle of water like nobody’s business. We are just trying to keep things in perspective over here. Face planting is a big deal. It’s a “milestone”. Derrick and I were all about the one piece bathing suits but we had to break down and put her in a bikini because everything seems a lil tight across the midsection. Seeing how I know how that feels all too well, we opted for “breathing” by just letting it all hang out. <br />

Last Friday we went Derrick’s Mom’s for a Fourth of July Firework show. We didn’t make it until the fireworks, but we ate and that’s always the best part. Let me just say that Derrick and I were not participating in the Pepsi-Coke challenge but we wore the t-shirts just because we are weird like that (just in case anyone notices the shirts). <br />

Also, one of our friend’s (Tonya) is having a baby boy! That means baby shower! So last Saturday I helped with that and I just have to put a couple of pics because…<br />
<br />
1. I love shower food. <br />

After the shower we headed to a surprise birthday party for my wonderful friend, Laura. She was so surprised she cried. Which almost made me cry. She actually just had her third little girl, Sarah Parker, who is a perfect, tiny doll baby. Derrick took pictures so there aren’t many keepers (He likes those action shots where you have food hanging out of your mouth or you’re laughing like a hyena). <br />

And today we had a yard sale. Well, our neighbors did and we just pretty much dragged some junk outside. No price tags or organization whatsoever. But let me tell you, people like junk. And I like not having to load it up and take it to Goodwill. We had a couple of ladies come by that wanted to buy some of my pre-baby clothes and high heels. Not a single one of them could fit into a size 7 shoe but you would have thought these heels were Cinderella’s glass slippers and they were determined to marry the prince. These ladies will always be referred to as the “wicked step-sisters” even though they were really nice. Wish I had a picture. <br />

Swiss Family Robinson is living in my backyard. I am pretty sure of it. I think I have even heard their pet monkey back there a time or two. We have what we used to refer to as “The Jungle”. It is far worse than a jungle. We decided that we needed to clear out some of our wooded area and put a fence up so that our dogs would have a little more room to run and jump. Ok, let’s be honest. They are digging holes in our backyard and I am afraid of what the neighbors think when I swing open the door and scream “Keep diggin’ buddy, it’s your own grave” so we are kindly moving them to another section of the yard. Derrick started the clearing process in February before everything turned green and started growing at lightening speed. <br />
<br />

And just so we are all clear – that is not a pile of brush. That junk is actually alive and attached in the ground with major roots. <br />

I honestly don’t think these pictures do it justice. Derrick could pull on a vine and a tree 10 yards back would shake. Everything was overgrown and tangled into everything else. For example, this is a tree covered in vines that wrap into the next tree on the left...<br />

A total nightmare. And then the World's Best Father-in-Law got us a backhoe. We agree that nothing has ever been as beautiful as watching that backhoe destroy this area. If it wouldn’t have been in the afternoon we probably would have lit some candles and drank some wine while watching the demolition. <br />

So now we are working on a fence. Because of our work schedules, and having a small baby, we cannot seem to put a dent in it. The fence is taking forever to finish. Derrick’s Dad and Uncle Stevie came over to help and that was a HUGE blessing. And now they are vacationing in the Dominican Republic enjoying drinks with umbrellas in them. We are still here. Chugging Gatorade and putting up one board at a time. Hoping Neely Jo takes long naps on Saturdays and Sundays so we can one day be done. Notice how I act like I am out there. I am not. I bring drinks out. And sometimes Neely Jo and I sit and the shade and watch. I am the Foreman and she is in charge of splashing water out of Tupperware containers. <br />

Unlike every other parent, we text pictures back and forth to each other with captions and see who can come up with the best one. Yeah. We are weird like that. Anyway, this is the other morning when I was feeding her breakfast. I am pretty sure the captions are dead on.<br />

Let me start by saying that I absolutely LOVED today. Being a Mom is truly the best thing I have ever done and I was so excited about today. Derrick had made all kinds of plans to do some of my favorite things for my first Mother’s Day. Unfortunately, Neely Jo is still battling a cough and as much as I wanted to run around and celebrate, I just couldn’t do it in good conscience. So the sad part of today was I had a baby that wasn’t feeling 100%, but the up side is that I had a baby that wanted to snuggle and be loved on all day. One of the things Derrick had planned was a picnic. Even with the forecast in the upper 70’s, we just couldn’t get Neely Jo out (at this point we aren’t sure if she has allergies or just a cold) so we had an inside picnic!</div><br />
<br />

Our fried chicken picnic with all the fixins quickly turned into a BLT with a few other things that we could get together without spending the day cooking. It was delicious! You will never hear me complain about any meal that includes pork product, white bread (no crusts because they just get in my way) and Duke’s mayonnaise. <br />

And my beautiful pink hydrangea was a Mother’s Day surprise from my friend, Elizabeth! We set it up so we had a little bit of the outside at our picnic. And this is a quilt that I actually bought Easter weekend. It is a Cathedral Window pattern and it has the dates stitched on one corner…<br />

I love all the detail and that someone spent so much time making such a beautiful quilt. This will always be something special that I use on Mother’s Day and then I plan to give it to Neely Jo on her first Mother’s Day. Hopefully it will be as special to her as it is to me!<br />

I am not sure if I have mentioned it before but we had to switch to a new daycare. Trying to be as nice as I possibly can, I will only say that the first daycare was not a good fit for us. Not a good fit AT ALL. We moved a couple of months ago and we are SO HAPPY. Absolutely IN LOVE with our new daycare and the ladies that take care of Neely Jo.<br />
<br />
<br />
Neely Jo has three teachers: Ms. Eldred, Ms. Taryn, and Ms. Marcy. We seriously love each of them. So since it was Teacher Appreciation Week we got to take in a few goodies to say thank you to the people that take care of the most precious thing in our lives. One day we took each teacher a flower.<br />

A homemade note. Since we clearly don’t let her use scissors or hot glue, Neely was only allowed to put her toe print on the cards – it didn’t turn out great, but it was our first attempt. We will get better.<br />

I was totally excited about Teacher Appreciation Week and then the bomb dropped. Ms. Taryn told us that today was her last day. I am so completely heartbroken. I know that Neely loves her. I know this because I don’t believe I ever saw Neely Jo scream in her face, which happens frequently to pretty much everyone else. The child just looks directly at you and open mouth screams. Sometimes it’s funny, but mostly embarrassing. Derrick and I could not be happier having her take care of Neely. I don’t leave Neely Jowith ANYONE and I would totally have trusted Ms. Taryn to watch her any time, any place. She is moving back to Tennessee (God’s Country – can’t blame her for that one) to go back to school to be a teacher (can’t blame her there either because she is going to be an amazing kindergarten teacher). But we can still be depressed. I had to call Derrick and have him meet me at the Mexican restaurant to drown my sorrows in chips and salsa. On a positive note, Neely Jo did sit in a high chair all by herself for the first time. <br />
<br />

When I told Derrick the sad news he was happy that she was going to become a teacher. He actually said, “That’s awesome!” while I had to fight back the urge to punch him. Then he made a good point. Maybe Ms. Taryn will come back to the Big BG and be Neely Jo's kindergarten teacher. We can only hope!Kelly Johttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06403168445801877438noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204299139305853078.post-63003011026771083352011-04-30T23:14:00.002-05:002011-05-01T19:30:46.749-05:00Neely's First EasterI know it is late but…Happy Easter! I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed holiday because I know we sure did. We drove up to my parents for the weekend had a chance for some much needed family time and some much needed sleep. Chewmomma sure comes in handy at 3am! <br />
<br />
We got to visit with lots of family and even managed to squeeze in a quick trip to Catlettsburg to run through an antique shop with the ladies. And new Cousin Rob joined us! Rob just married Becky and I am not sure if he is really into junkin or if he just loves Becky that much. He may never go again and he may also never come visit us. I yanked up a quilt that had mildew stains all over and repeatedly asked everyone if they thought I could get them out. Then I found a bench that I thought might have been paired with a chamber pot (it wasn’t actually, but I thought at first maybe it might have been). I had my hands all over that bench and poor Rob was probably thinking, “Why would she want that and why is she touching it so much?” but he kindly didn’t say anything. If he ever does actually come to visit he will probably be terrified that I don’t have indoor plumbing and that I am going to make him sleep in a moldy bed. Never, but I may let him sleep with Charlie, my 100 pound golden retriever that likes to snuggle. <br />

Anyway, we tried to play photo session with Neely Jo and her Easter basket but that didn’t turn out very well. She seriously could care less about anything in the basket besides the grass. And she wanted to eat it. <br />

The Church service was beautiful and we made it through with only two crying outbursts. First Granny got screamed at when the bottle was empty and then Chewmomma had to fish a piece of the program out of Neely’s mouth and she wasn’t real happy about it. Other than that Neely Jo thoroughly enjoyed her first Easter service! <br />

Aunt Sue helped us watch Neely while we finished visiting with everyone. This is one of my all time favorite pictures. Trees and flowers are all in bloom, spring is in the air and here Neely is bundled up in a chenille blanket with a toboggan… <br />

I should never be posting pictures of Neely Jo two weeks apart when she is wearing a toboggan one week and breaking out the sleeveless two pieces the next week. </div><br />

Other than the weather being the pits (not right now – it’s been warm in the sunshine as of lately) we have had a wild two weeks. Neely had her first ear infection and I had to go out of town for two days for work. I realize lots of people travel after they have babies but this was my first time and it nearly broke my heart. It also didn’t help that she wasn’t feeling well. I believe I gave my lil bug nearly 1,000 kisses before I walked out the door…<br />

And when I came home I tried to make the most of the weekend and spoil her with as much love as possible. And who better to help me than Chewmomma! The timing was perfect because she actually got to see Neely Jo on her 6 month birthday. Sadly, I kept forgetting to take pictures of them and the only one I have of both of them will never be seen. I have been threatened within an inch of my life to delete it but I just can’t. One day Neely Jo will want to see a picture of her sprawled out on her grandma’s lap. Both of them asleep on the couch. Both in pajamas. Both with mouths hanging wide open. I actually woke Chewmomma up laughing so hard at the sight of them. Anyway, Chewmomma did give Neely “The Giving Tree” for her 6 month birthday and it was a hit! She is getting much better at sitting while I read to her, but she really just wants to open and shut the book. <br />

And when she is tired of opening and shutting, sometimes it’s nice to curl up and chew on it…<br />

And as you can see, Neely Jo can now sit up on her own. She still falls over some, but it is getting to be less and less. So that’s a milestone for us. And I thought it seemed like the perfect time to let her ride in the Wal-Mart cart all by herself today (with a cart cover thanks to Aunt Katie). Bad idea. She fell over and bumped her head when I turned a corner, which was followed by extremely loud screaming that stopped when I finally came out of hiding from the home goods aisle. [Good Mommy award goes here]. <br />

</div>I did pretty much all of the shopping while Derrick waited in line at the deli to get some ham. Seriously, that boy has the worst luck when it comes to buying ham (another story for another time). This time he got behind two little old ladies who apparently thought Wal-Mart Deli was open for a cheese tasting. I am just hoping they didn’t hear Derrick making jokes and asking where the wine was and that they remembered to get some fiber or Colace before leaving Wal-Mart. But after standing around for so long Neely started to throw another fit and acted like she was about to starve to death. People were staring. We had to straight up feed her while walking to the front of Wal-Mart. Even more people were staring. Let’s all just be glad she is eating solids. <br />

Check it out – the lady in line is turning around to check out Neely throwing a fit between bites of food. Bet she didn’t get up this morning and think she would end up on the internet. And if she does ever happen upon this I would like to say thank you, sweet lady, you were very nice and nonjudgmental. <br />

Derrick and I took off work on Friday, we were heading to my parents, and then heading to Columbus for the special event. I have been looking forward to this wedding FOREVER! I actually bought Neely Jo’s dress before she was even born. Just so we are clear on my feelings, there was no way I was missing this wedding. Enter the sickies. It hit Neely Jo Wednesday night. The sniffles. The coughs. The snots. Just all over sickies. Thankfully, she doesn’t have a fever but she is just pitiful. I waited until the last minute thinking that maybe I could just drive straight up to Columbus on Saturday morning but it just didn’t happen. And I know that it is probably best that I didn’t go. She would have been passed around like a hot potato and ended up with something worse. But I still was grouchy (major understatement) all day Saturday because I was so disappointed we weren’t there. I think Neely Jo was, too. <br />

Derrick took advantage of the beautiful weekend weather and did some yard work (more on that later) and us girls just curled up in bed and watched movies. Derrick was a tad jealous. Especially when he found out we had matching socks. <br />

Neely was going to sleep in our room in a crib for the first four weeks and then she was going to move into the nursery and sleep in her crib in there. Yeah right. Neely Jo has probably spent a total of 25 minutes in both cribs combined. She wakes up every single time we try to sneak her into a crib. If we are lucky, we might be able to put her in the swing. For the most part she sleeps in the middle of the bed. Totally not the way I had thought it was going to happen. I had also planned on breastfeeding exclusively for the first six months. Well, I have to go out of town in a couple of weeks and I have no idea how in the hee-haw I am going to get enough to feed the little bug. We decided to go ahead and start her on food two weeks early which was today. We are trying to skip rice cereal all together and opted for avocados. In my mind I pictured Miss Neely Jo loving it. Gulping it down. Everybody says they just eat a little in the beginning but I figured she would be more like a pig on slop. I was thinking my baby girl was going to be an overachiever with the food seeing how she is my daughter, and Mama loves to eat. <br />
<br />
<br />
Imagine the scene from the Exorcist. You know, green mess flying all over. That was us. She liked it at first but round two was a whole different story. It was so bad we stopped taking pictures so we could capture some of it on video. We did get a couple of good ones before she started flailing around. And of course the dogs were extremely interested...<br />

We woke up this morning and it was beautiful outside. Forecast 69 degrees and sunny. We thought to ourselves, “Let’s load up and take Neely Jo to the park.” And so we did. <br />
<br />
<strong>1.</strong> Even if you think your 5 ½ month old would be interested in watching you feed ducks, they really aren’t. You just end up stepping in duck poo for no good reason. <br />
<br />
<strong>2.</strong> When you pull up at the park and see the other children (who are about 4-5 years old) wearing their Carhartt coveralls, you should turn around and go home. The Bailey Boys sleeveless dress with matching bloomers is probably not the best choice for the season. No matter how cute you think it is. <br />
<br />
<strong>3.</strong> If you have a baby stroller with some of those nice iBaby speakers for your baby, you should make sure your iPod is already set to something appropriate for the park and your child. Nobody wants to hear you strolling around to Run DMC singing “It’s Tricky”. <br />
<br />
<strong>4.</strong> Even if your baby did have colic and she still likes to be bounced around 24/7 and she screams when you put her in the stroller unless you make it jerk around and do some rough riding on the gravel, there is no need to be so obvious about it. Nothing worse than people thinking you are playing Evel Knievel with your baby. <br />
<br />
<strong>5.</strong> Make sure all the cars door are shut before you decide it’s a good time to nurse. And don’t holler and draw attention to yourself if they aren’t. <br />
<br />

I used to go to the games, take pictures and we would have the team over to our house several times during the season for cookouts and such. I am ashamed to admit I have been to a couple of games and that is it. I mean NOTHING else. I did manage to make it over to gym the other weekend, but the only pictures I took were of the Littlest Spartan. <br />

Now you would have thought that I had the happiest baby in the world while she was in that basket. When we were pulling up to the gym she was crying. She needed a nap. And it was almost time for her to eat. I thought she would be a bear about sitting in the basket. Nope. She LOVED it! Derrick picked her up once to readjust her and she started screaming and was immediately laughing as soon as he put her back. I may never leave the house again without that basket. I can just hear them at Red Lobster, “Ma’am, can we get you a high chair?” Me, “No thank you. I am just going to shove her in the basket under the table so I have enough table room for my cheesy biscuits.”<br />
<br />
Just a few pics where she she got distracted... <br />

Unfortunately, Maggie is very sick and needs lots of prayers. This past Friday she checked into the ICU at Vanderbilt. She has pneumonia in both lungs and was put on the vent. Then her right upper lobe collapsed. She also has a bacteria infection in her blood and is having some issues with her kidneys. Maggie is a precious little baby and it hurts my heart for her to be so sick. Laura is the strongest mother I have ever met and she amazes me every single time I talk to her. Whenever Maggie is sick, Laura rolls with the punches. She is truly exceptional. She is also expecting her 3<sup>rd</sup> Baby Girl. I cannot imagine the stress she is under. Please pray for their family. They need all the love and support they can get right now! </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
